Browsing a site and checking/posting webmail using perl...

I am using RH9, postgreSQL and perl5. I would like to get my system to automatically visit a site, go to the login url, login, browse to the mail/messages link and get the messages one by one and save them in a postgreSQL database. Also, I would like my system to post messages from the database

I don't get any errors either with the sample.pl and sample files. So I wonder if the data is bad in the middle of the file. I guess that has to be it since I get the errors with sample.pl and the full data file. What is the best way to redirect that bad data to a different file or array? Tim
